Community Helping Hand is one way we can connect with our local Community by offering Help, using our Hands and Hearts. It seems incredible that in our community there are some people who don’t have homes but sleep in our parks, and that there are people who have to come here for food. What we offer is not fancy gourmet food, but basic things: baked beans, rice, noodles, milk, tea bags, toothpaste, etc. As well as offering bags of food, may we care for these people with our prayers, and be mindful of these people on the sidelines of our community.

We offer the food hamper service as an Emergency Relief Basis and the hours of service are as follows.

Monday and Thursday 9.00m - 12 noon (only)

Each week there is a teaching video which you will watch as part of your time together. For those who want to do this offline you can download the teaching notes and read it (or read in advance) in lieu of the video. There is also a personal practice which you can do between sessions - with the opportunity for sharing on how you went the following week.

This is best done in community with a small group. The weekly practice is more then just a bible study - it's a time of sharing, learning, prayer and reflection; most of all it provides a way of being encouraged as you practice the way of Jesus by cultivating a more generous life-style and doing this together is the way of Jesus’ followers.

Small group leaders - You can identify Emmanuel Uniting Church as your church and identify yourself as a small group leader and create ‘your own’ weekly meeting for gathering your small group to participate in the weekly practice. You can even invite members of your group (by email) to join in your group meeting; how easy is that! Or for those small groups that want an ‘offline’ option… you can download the links for the teaching session each week (suggest pre-read before your small group) and personal practice (for after your small group) in the table below.

Links for the four weeks (sessions 1-4) and the ‘bonus’ session (5) are below

Our weekly sermons at Emmanuel will loosely follow sessions 1 - 4 of practicing the way, starting Feb 02.

This February let’s practice the way of generosity as part of our ongoing discipleship journey at Emmanuel.
